A detailed account of the development of Bakelite is followed by a catalogue of individual pieces, in wich each member of the Bakelite jewellery family is taken in turn; bracelets, brooches, necklaces, rings and earrings. Specific points of intrest are raised and you will learn how to recognise the different decorative styles and techniques that were popular throughout production; faceting, carving,windows or scenes, geometrics, reverse carving,polka dots, stripes and the very desirable "end of day" where colours are combined to produce a multi-coloured effect.
